Joan Mir’s huge 2025 crash tally belies the progress he’s making, argues Simon Patterson
The 2025 MotoGP season has been challenging for Honda’s Joan Mir, with crashes overshadowing his results. Despite a difficult season, there are signs that Mir is regaining form, albeit hindered by the current RC213V issues. Mir has finished only four out of 12 races and is ranked 19th in the championship, behind teammate Marini. While Mir’s 32 points may not seem impressive compared to others, his performance shows improvement compared to 2024, with better finishes. Although Mir has faced crashes, the improvement in results suggests progress with the Honda project. It’s evident that both Mir and Honda are working to address the challenges and turn the season around.
